Kuyu ve Sarkaç

The pacing and imagery are incredibly effective at building suspense. I wonder what techniques Poe used to keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout.

His descent into madness adds a layer of horror that feels deeply personal. It made me wonder how much of the story is about fear of the unknown versus fear of oneself.

The vivid descriptions and symbolic elements really stuck with me. I’m curious whether Poe drew from personal experiences or was influenced by contemporary events.
